Granbull (Pokémon)

From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Revision as of 21:28, 2 July 2013 by Bellsprout(talk | contribs)(I added "on-screen" to the evolution in Mystery Dungeon series since with Pokémon like Alakazam and Lombre as NPCs, evolution probably existed some time before off-screen.)

Biology

Physiology

Granbull are purple bulldog-like Pokémon that are capable of standing upright. Their most notable feature is their particularly pronounced lower jaws. If eclipsed by its more prominent lower jaws, Granbull also has two small fangs visible on its upper jaw. Granbull's ears are flat and curved in surface, and their nose is black. They also have a black collar around their neck with two small white patterns on it, and two band-like black markings on their arms.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Granbull has notably powerful, pronounced, and prominent jaws, capable of immense crushing power, which Granbull uses to perform attacks such as Bite, Crunch, and the elemental fang trio. It can also learn Outrage, which is usually learned by Dragon-type Pokémon.

Behavior

Despite appearing fierce-looking they are actually very timid, loyal and playful. The jaws are so heavy that the Pokémon have trouble keeping their heads up. Unless Granbull is startled, it will try not to bite indiscriminately. If attacked, Granbull will flail about to fend off its attacker.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

A Granbull appeared in Teddiursa's Picnic, where it was stealing Pokémon to get attention as its jaw was dislocated. When Gold accidentally knocks its jaw into relocation, it happily returns all the Pokémon it took.

In the TCG

Game data

NPC appearances

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Granbull hangs around Pokémon Square. Granbull evolved from Snubbull without realizing what was happening, though it enjoyed its new appearance after getting over the initial shock. This event alerted the rest of the characters that evolution was now possible.

Granbull has a particularly well- developed lower jaw. The enormous fangs are heavy, causing the Pokémon to tip its head back for balance. Unless it is startled, it will not try to bite indiscriminately.
